Dédal Shelf

Mathieu Matégot's Dédal Shelf is a result of his passion for the groundbreaking and innovative pairing of metal tubing and perforated metal sheet. The Dédal Shelf is designed in 1955 and holds the advantages that Rigitulle entails - the metal's hardness as well as the fabric's lightness. Though apparently simple, the Dédal Shelf is often composed on several levels. The graphical shape matches each other and when grouped together they form a new design, almost a geometric pattern - especially when the shelves are juxtaposed.

MATHIEU MATÉGOT

 

 

Mathieu Matégot (1910–2001) was a versatile, independent and self-taught designer, architect and artist. Born in Hungary, he first discovered the potential of metal while working in a mechanical accessories plant as a prisoner of war. In 1931, after finishing his studies at Budapest's School of Art and Architecture, he settled

 

Although Matégot used materials such as rattan and glass, he is best known for developing his own ground-breaking material – Rigitulle, which he made from perforated sheet metal. Like fabric, this could be bent, folded, and shaped, giving his designs transparency, weightlessness, and an enduring modernity.
